Big Rain Coming A picture book illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft.

Australian Best Seller!

Set in a remote community in Northern Australia Big Rain Coming paints a picture of daily life. Everyone is waiting for the rain. Even the dusty dogs and green frogs are hot. When will the rain come?

A very clever, extremely well written story designed for young readers. It is the sort of story that will be requested night after night at bedtime. Ian W Gibson, Multicultural Education
